Troubleshooting

Checks before you generate draft order

Draft entries cannot be used yet

When: Draft Order Generator has no usable draft entries, or an entry does not follow the format shown by that field.

Why: The tool needs valid draft entries, use weights, and draft weights to produce the weighted draft order.

Try: In Draft Order Generator, add one team, player, or pick label per line, then set its weight below; then generate draft order again.

Review required for weighted draft order

When: Weights affect relative chance, not a guaranteed position.

Why: The tool evaluates draft entries, use weights, and draft weights, but it cannot assess context outside those controls.

Try: Check the weighted draft order against this additional limit: the result is not cryptographic proof or an independently verified draw. Revise the visible settings in Draft Order Generator when needed.

Why Draft Order Generator keeps its setup visible

How the visible setup shapes the result

The tool applies weighted order rules only to draft entries, use weights, and draft weights. Review those settings with the weighted draft order; the result is not cryptographic proof or an independently verified draw.

  • The visible setup—draft entries, use weights, and draft weights—defines what can appear in the result.
  • Changing a setting may change the weighted draft order, so confirm the setup before running the tool.
  • The result still has this limit: weights affect relative chance, not a guaranteed position.

What happens to inputs in Draft Order Generator

  • You can use Draft Order Generator without an account or saved result history.
  • For “Run a weighted fantasy draft lottery,” enter only the values represented by draft entries, use weights, and draft weights; leave unrelated personal or sensitive information out.
